04/09/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Stately, dignified, handsome, sweet, friendly, housetrained, good on leash, and the best friend you’ll ever find, Brooke is everything a “senior” dog should be. Surrendered to our care by the only family he’s ever known, we’re told that he lived with two young children and was relaxed and playful with them, doesn’t guard his ‘stuff’, likes to be brushed and given baths, likes to play fetch, is housetrained, knows ‘sit’ and ‘put it down’, and sleeps on a blanket on the floor. Brooke is the sweetest old man who may have been a bloodhound in his previous life as he walks nose to the ground sniffing his way. Brooke reminds me of the older relative who brings warmth, ease, unconditional love and friendship to the home. The relative you always want there because he makes you feel good. That’s our Brooke. Brooke has some calluses on his pressure points but in general has been nicely taken care of and he carries his age so very well. Sniffing out treats in my hand he takes them gently, and then goes off to explore our pen. He’s a fabulous senior ready to spend his golden retirement years in the warmth of a new person or family. Easy walks, good food and lots of love should fill his every day moving forward. Brooke will warm your heart as he did mine…..come meet him today.

Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Brooke is polite, sniffing the pen and occasionally bouncing along side the helper dog when solicited. He may attempt briefly posture to mount but is more focused on sniffing. His owner reports he has never been around other dogs, so any in-home behaviors with them are unknown. The behavior department recommends a pre-adoption interaction to ensure Brooke’s compatability with any resident dogs. When off leash with other dogs Brooke is polite and social. He is tolerant when the helper dog mounts him and will engage in bouts of bouncy play with her. 4/11 update: Brooke greets briefly, then roams the pen. 4/14 update: Brooke is tense when greeting a male dog. He engages in short bursts of play with females.
